HistNERo (CoNLL)

This repository contains the Historical Romanian Named Entity Recognition (HistNERo) dataset in a CoNLL-compatible format.

The dataset uses the reference dataset from avramandrei/histnero and introduces the following features:

CoNLL-like dataset splits (see train.tsv, dev.tsv and test.tsv), including metadata
Document-wise grouping
Flair Dataset Loader, see the FlairDatasetExample.ipynb example notebook

The dataset has 10,026 sentences (i.e. 8,020 train, 1,003 valid and 1,003 train) annotated with five named entities:

PERSON
ORGANIZATION
LOCATION
PRODUCT
DATE

More details can be found in the HistNERo: Historical Named Entity Recognition for the Romanian Language paper.

Caveats

We provide a CoNLL-compatible format of the original HistNERo dataset. Thus, there could still be some errors in the dataset transformation. Please open an issue if you find any problems!

License

We use the original MIT license from the authors' dataset repository.
